COMPOSITE MATERIAL.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No, 732,569, dated June 30, 1903.

Application filed October 13, 1902. Serial No.127,049. (N0 specimens.)

T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT LEISEL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Peekskill, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Composite Materials, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in composite materials particularly adapted for decorative purposes, such as wall-hangings,

signs, panels, &c.; and the object is to provide a composite material that shall be very strong, yet thin and flexible, and capable of ornamentation by embossing,painting,or tinting and be impervious to moisture.

I will describe a composite material embodying myinvention and then point out the novel features in the appended claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a broken plan view of a composite material embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

The material comprises a base or body portion 5, consisting of a textile material-such,

for instance, as cotton and on the outer side I of this textile material is a thick coating of oil-paint 6, which provides a smooth surface. On the opposite side is a thin coating 7 of oilpaint, which prevents the entrance of moisture to the fabric. The backing 8 consists of paper, which is secured to the thin coat of paint 7 by a waterproof adhesive 9such, for I instance, as rubber. This will render .the whole structure moisture or water proof.

fHaving thus described my invention, 1'

. ALBERT LEISEL.
